Answer:
1) Household consumption, which accounts for about <u>68%*</u> of the economy, grew at a 4.2% annualized rate during the second quarter of 2016.
*Data obtained from federal government sources.
2) Since household/consumer spending (consumption) represents almost 70% of the nation's GDP, any change will cause a major change in the total GDP. E.g. if consumption increases by 5%, then the whole economy will grow by 5% x 68% = 3.4%.
I believe this shouldn't affect him since he is 75 years old, past the 65 retirement age. So the $50K from this IRA can be withdrawn tax free. If he moved the funds to a checking account BEFORE 65, then it would be taxable. Check with a financial advisor.

Accumulated depreciation= $276,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
On January 2, 2019, Kaiman Corporation acquired equipment for $ 700,000. The estimated life of the equipment is 5 years. The estimated residual value is $ 10,000.
Depreciable value= 700,000 - 10,000= 690,000
Straight-line depreciation= 690,000/5= $138,000
Accumulated depreciation= 138,000*2= $276,000
Answer:
Explanation:
In the former case that is investment in security that pays interest of 8% per year for the next 2 years , there is provision of fixed interest rate . That means one can be assured of interest rate of 8 % for two years but he can not get benefit of market fluctuation if interest rate if it rises above 8 % after one year .
In case of investment in security that matures in 1 year but pays only 6% interest , one can take the benefit of market fluctuation if interest rate rises above 8 % . So if there is likelihood that interest rate can rise above 8 % in future , one should invest in 6% security for one year and reinvest it after one year , in the same security or in other security which fetches higher rate of interest .
Apart from that , if there is a contingent liability of paying after one year , one can not go in for 2 year security as it will have to break prematurely , that will result in loss of interest .
So due to situation described above, one should prefer investment in one year security .
